Journalists and the media outlets that employ them are all terribly negligent and have been for years. If America is going to come out of this crisis and avoid another, media and what is considered journalism will have to go through some reform as well. It is my hope that independent journalists with integrity like yourself will take up that mantle and push the pretenders out. Without trust in journalists, Americans can have no confidence in the transparency of their government.
I think you have to care about an individual first in order to be concerned about their health issues...the one exception would be if Trump is indeed sane enough to be the keeper of the nuclear codes...if he is addicted to drugs and I believe he is, considering the many times he’s spoken out in public where he’s slurred words or behaved as if he wasn’t in complete control of his body including his feet. Those under the influence often find it difficult to navigate walking and stairs or ramps in this case are huge impediments while “stoned out of ones gourd” as Trump often is nowadays....who can blame him? He’s made a tremendous mockery of the presidency, he’s failed at everything, and worst of all, he knows it too. Let’s face it Trump has been a huge failure all of his life, so it’s no surprise that he’s failed yet again at the most complex job (POTUS) that any sane intelligent being would consider difficult. Trump never had any qualification to be president, except dishonesty and foreign help to steal it from Madam President Hillary Rodham Clinton, the real winner.
Greg, no MSM doesn't report this stuff. BUT the late night comedy hosts sure do. The two I like best who tell straight and make it only a tiny bit funny (Colbert laughs too much) - Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers. Kimmel did more than show the shitshow at West Point, he showed 2 other times the Beast had to use both hands to drink water - bottle, glass, doesn't matter. Both hands. Here's my diagnosis - ahem - diabetes brought on by his diet and obesity and resulting neuropathy in both feet and hands. OF COURSE he's not able-bodied. And on top of that, all the speed and other drugs he takes. SOOOOOOO - here's the link - and go to 2:16 to start the arm and water biz! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSQvwkVLPDM
I remember how average people with mental health problems were called "crazy" while rich and powerful people with those problems were considered "eccentric". For whatever reason, powerful people get lots of passes the typical Joe or Jane would never receive.
However, I think this West Point performance has shown the evident reality that he has massive health problems that everyone can see. If only the mainstream media can stop its delusion and cowardice that DJT's health is a non-issue so that we can stop this reality show of a presidency.
1. WHY, indeed. Add to that vexing question, why the unabashed double standard, in the way a woman's [ok, specifically HRC] alleged health issues is sensationalized & covered, ad nauseum and a man's, with nary a raised brow?
Case in point: MSM ran wild when HRC'S fall was falsely reported by the national enquirer as a fatal, neurological illness
MSM echoed the enquirer with titillating innuendos like, "According to the enquirer, in a report WE haven't verified....the end with, "is she terminally ill? What does this mean for her campaign? Is she going to end her campaign?
2. Ditto, for the time her simple trip was distorted and played repeatedly, referring to the enquirer's false story to buttress it's false narrative.
This left the audience to deduce that the new trip on the step of the SUV was attributable to the unsubstantiated "terminal illness-- could have been clarified asking HER, or obtaining her medical records.
3. Compare that to Trump's nocturnal jaunt to Bethesda hospitals, for reasons, STILL unclear to a public, about to vote in a few months. Trump's lame explanation was clearly a lie, but got little or no mention let alone, further probe.
The most glaring testimony to the aforementioned double standard was when Bernie Sanders, at 77 having a proper heart attack, promised to furnish "full medical report to reassure WE, the. PEOPLE that he's hearty, hale & fit to serve.
4. Granted the press pushed back & cried foul, when Sanders produced 3 sealed envelopes, he claimed were from 3 physicians, attesting to his fitness, asking he still intended to furnish the promised FULL MEDICAL RECORDS, to which he replied *"probably, not".
Sanders paused, as if expecting continued push back from the press...A sheepish yawn, then Sanders went for the kill, reaffirmed the greatness of the physcians who all concurred that he was in spectacular shape, and said, no EVERYTHING is in there [yet unopened envelopes THE END.
WHERE WAS THE ENQUIRER AND THE BREATHLESS PRESS, AND THEIR COCKAMAMIE INNUENDOS?🙄
5. Sanders kept on promising to submit FULL MEDICAL RECORDS in RALLY speeches. He was never challenged about the time he said he wouldn't. I envy people in 70s...they had Woodward AND Bernstein!
We have HANmity & a vast array bum sniffers, afraid to offend, lest they lose access... to what? Just go to Trump's Twitter page. Great, intrepid journalists should & are happy to OFFEND for the scoop.
Woodward and Bernstein were iso offensive, they were persona non grata at Nixon daughter's wedding! Did they care? Hell no. They kept offending, till Watergate blew up.
The closest person we have to them now is Michael Wolff
He's very offensive, but gets the story & blows up every bridge behind him and on to the next mighty jerk
I've no doubt that America's passive aggressive misogyny--even by women [yeah that's a thing] has robbed us of a great President, more than once and look WHERE we are.
